Yeah, it's just, like I said, I don't think this was McVay's best game either.
And that, that's sort of theso you can sort of spin this.
Like, multiple different ways, right?
Yeah.
Coming out of the Panthers game, it was special teams and secondary.
And I think the secondary played better today than they did that week.
But then, obviously, again, I'm coming out of this thinking they bungled some.
Situations.
I didn't love the first-half play-calling.
It felt like you didn't even need it to be this close at the end.
I think that if they had just kind of put their... And it's a hypothetical, it's like hindsight.
Mm.
Analysis, but to me, I think this wasn't the best-coached game the Rams had.
Played.
And, you know, all this talk coming into it About the McVay tree, Peter Schrager had this.
Right.
Oh, the McVay tree.
He's really upset at Ben Johnson.
I'm like, "All right, well, you're back at the hornets' nest now."
Man.
Yeah, great.
Well, I think you overthought it coming into this game.
Because, like I said, it wasn't his best performance in this one.
But you can take that one of two ways, in that there are multiple problems that they need to worry about, or it's like, all right, well, We cleaned one thing up from the Wild Card Round, then another sprang up here in Divisional Round.
Maybe we get it all sorted out.
Uh, in the Conference Championship.
But I'm with Chuck.
Man, if you play like you did these last 2 weeks, you go into Seattle.
It could get ugly in a hurry because, that's the hornets' nest right there.
And like, yes, you come close to that thing.
All those hornets are coming out at you.
